Billy Bones Manderly quotes from Black Sails

Billy

Our crew is less than a day removed from a mutiny. I don't care how much gold you dangle in front of them, that hatred doesn't just disappear.

Billy

Have you ever been tortured? Suffered pain applied by men who saw you as less than a man? Saw you as... an animal? Because it isn't actually the pain they're inflicting that's the most frightening part of it. It isn't the fear of future pain. It's the knowledge that even when the pain stops, even if they were to let you go, that they've changed you. That that pain, that fear, that despair, has made you someone else. Someone you barely recognize, against your will.

Billy

I would fight to the death to ensure that not a single one of my brothers ever has to face what I had to face. Now, if there's a man on this crew that feels differently, that feels as though he'd be willing to accept another brother suffering that fate so that he might avoid it, then that's a man I need to remove from my crew.
